http://legacy.iranian.com/main/taxonomy/term/2221/0 Kourosh and I finally got to take a 'real' vacation. We ended up in Peru with a beautiful couple. 10-day tour... and this time, instead of sorting the pictures by category, I decided to share them as I captured the shots. We started and ended in Lima. We got to see the Pisac Ruins, Markes, Ollantaytambo... spent the night in Sacred Valley, then off to Ollianta station to make our way to Aquas Calientes and Machu Picchu. Kourosh and I went on a hike atop Machu Picchu on the 2nd day, then we headed to Cuzco which I really enjoyed--and then off to Puno - Lake Titicaca... We got to visit the locals on the floating islands--ended up doing lunch at Taaquile and then off to Lima -- where we bid farewell to our friends Hamid and Afsaneh, and got to meet a new Peruvian friend and her lovely husband. We asked to experience dining in a hole in the wall which was a perfect way to end our journey.  As you see I got to meet and feed many stray cats and dogs. I thought I had seen every breed of dog -- until I  met the national dog of Peru: Peruvian Hairless Dog. I hope to get a chance to go back to Peru to experience the Nazca lines and North of Peru... still on our list of things to do before we die. en http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147098 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147098#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:10 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147098 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147100 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147100#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:10 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147100 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147099 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147099#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:10 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147099 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147094 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147094#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:09 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147094 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147096 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147096#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:09 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147096 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147093 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147093#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:09 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147093 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147095 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147095#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:09 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147095 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147097 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147097#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:09 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147097 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147092 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147092#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:09 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147092 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147091 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147091#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:04:08 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147091 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147089 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147089#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:02 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147089 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147086 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147086#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:01 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147086 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147088 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147088#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:01 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147088 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147087 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147087#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:01 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147087 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147083 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147083#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:00 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147083 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147085 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147085#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:00 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147085 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147082 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147082#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:00 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147082 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147084 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147084#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 22:00:00 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147084 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147081 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147081#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 21:59:59 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147081 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147079 http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/147079#comments Ending Up in Peru Sat, 28 May 2011 21:59:58 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 147079 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main
